Our Story

Details

Photos

Older and more fabulous sister of the Bride. Shannon is  fantastic lawyer, great party planner and stellar cook.  Shannon was the first family member Amber introduced Brady to, and after getting her glowing approval, the rest is history. P.S. she's dating the drummer 

Shannon

Breck

(aka. Touchette, Touch-it, Touche) College Best Friend. Amber and Laura became best friends over their love of the Olympics, College Game Day, college basketball, and basically anything sports related. Before Amber met Laura she knew nothing about golf, now she actually has some kind of clue and can even tell you who Dustin Johnson is. Thank goodness for Touchette!

Laura

Grant

Future sister-in-law to the Bride (aka the Groom's sister). As soon Amber and Bethany met they became fast friends. After all the years being the butt of Brady's jokes and pranks, Bethany gained a partner-in-crime in Amber to get him back. Together they love teasing Brady, listening to dope beats, and having girl talk while Brady is around. Bethany was also the mastermind that helped Brady with the proposal and creeped around the zoo to get the perfect picture once Brady got down on one knee. We love Bethany! 

Bethany

Jenny and Amber have been friends since 7th grade. They went through the awkward teenage years, one season of varsity basketball :), and volleyball games galore. They fancy themselves Yang-and-Grey  kind of best friends and through all the years have managed to remain close.

Shanna and Amber have known each other since 4th grade. Because of last names they almost always sat next to each other in school and have been friends ever since. Shanna is a San Antonio expert, so if you have questions about what's fun to do in the city ask her!

Shanna

Brett

Younger sister of the bride. She's by far the most creative in the family and graciously helped with all the decorations. Joye keeps Amber feeling young, and even goes to  ACL with her. Joye is way cooler than her and Amber is so thankful for younger sister that keeps her feeling hip
